Movie Reviews of Put the Needle on the Record
Movie Review: Not for just the "House" music generation!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's a whole new type of dance music being created by DJs in clubs around the world and it's NOT Hip-hop! It's "House Music" which is long continuous dance tracks created by DJs in clubs. I didn't even know where the word "house" came from until I saw this really well done documentary by a first time director. (It came from the fact that it started in an LA club called "The Warehouse", and the music style was shortened to 'house.)
This is not your typical Hip Hop scratching DJ. These guys (and ladies, as there are females as well) blend sounds and beats to form INSTRUMENTAL soundscapes. It's a huge world-wide phenomenon. The interviews with the DJs are ARTICULATE and these guys (and gals) are mostly in their 30s or 40s (or so it appears. This music was new to me but I now understand it thanks to this film. If I had one suggestion it would be to shorten it by about 20 minutes as a few parts are repetitive but, I'm still impressed by the way the story goes. Much of it was filmed at a huge annual House Music Conference in Miami. Parents should be aware that there are some gratuitous shots of topless women on hotel balconies not mentioned on the box. Nice "eye candy" but you should know it's there.
I found this even more interesting than the film a few years ago about turntablists "Scratch". Give it a shot. The supplemental materials have extended interviews.
